Hi Anna.
I made this recipe today. I had mushrooms that were going bad but no hazelnuts so I swapped walnuts for them. I did add 1 tsp of sugar to the yeast, water & milk. Mine had expired in October. I got lucky it foamed up. I’ve always wanted to bake bread with mushrooms but it seemed so intimidating. I’m glad I did. Your recipe is delicious & I’ll make it again. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Angie, I’m really glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks so much for giving it a try!
